Keep your ego aside.

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

It is almost impossible.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”

And..

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

But, then it hit me hard.

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I vividly remember that evening.

A gazillion thoughts running through my mind.

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

Found an empty bench..

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”
